In 1916, the National City Bank of New York, the precursor of today's Citibank, sent Rogers to Petrograd, the capital of the Russian Empire, to join a mission hell-bent on achieving American commercial preeminence in Russia--a vision set forth by the bank's president, Frank Vanderlip, who enthusiastically declared \"Russia's need for capital is like Sahara's thirst for water.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow published, Leighton Rogers' journal provides a fresh, riveting eyewitness account of that tumultuous time, his personal transformation under fire, the failure of America's then largest financial institution to timely perceive and mitigate risk, and enduring insights and foreboding about today's Russia. Into Russia's Cauldron is a compelling story of insight, conviction and hubris which will appeal to Russian history students, business and finance professionals, and readers looking for stand out real life drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1737766302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781737766308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Forest Cat Productions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.13d","brand":"Steven Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049546379519,"sku":"9781737766308","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56a2cc08-d57e-4deb-bb19-fc46ee1c5dbc.jpg?v=1685002126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/into-russias-cauldron-steven-fisher-9781737766308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
